Xperia Z2 to hit India on 12 May for Rs. 49,990; Pre-orders open

Sony India held a press conference earlier today to reveal Xperia Z2 launch details. Sony India will launch the Xperia Z2 (D6502) on 12 May 2014 at a price point of Rs. 49,990 (£492, €598, $834). Freebies include a SmartBand SWR10, a flip cover case and six months of accidental damage cover.

The Xperia Z2 will be available across all key retail outlets in black, purple and white colours. Infibeam already has Xperia Z2 pre-orders up for the black and purple versions at a price of Rs. 49,990. Flipkart has also opened pre-orders.

Sony has a 10% smartphone share within India. Kenichiro Hibi, Managing Director of Sony India said that they are targeting Sales of Rs. 5,500 crore in FY14 and plan to launch over 30 new smartphones this year. Really? Does this mean we will see 30 Xperia models launch in 2014? We really hope Sony doesn’t dilute its brand.

The Indian distribution network will also be expanded to reach 12,000 touch-points, including 500 exclusive Xperia Lounge Stores. Sony will complement this with a Rs. 350 crore marketing budget.

Is Anyone know that Noise Cancellation Earphone included in the Main Box…..?

I totally agree with the pricing as Samsung and HTC just raised the amount 50K without any freebies.
But they should have given the Noise Cancellation Headphones or Wireless headset instead of smartband that is such useless for Indian i think.
But will asking the Sony Center guys to cut down the price by not giving me the Smartband :P

aks

even in other countries its the same price they are doing a global standard pricing..

Damn, I wonder what is going on with Sony. They’re kinda like not in a mood to compete with the big boys out there, why didn’t they prepare the right amount of units of the Z2? This must be the first time I’ve seen Sony has shortage of units of their phone.

Until now, the Z2 still haven’t release in Malaysia yet. What’s going on with you, Sony? I think my next phone won’t be the Z2, maybe I’ll get the Oppo Find 7, at least it has a bit of Sony-inspired design and it’s cheaper and offers bleeding edge specs. Anyways, I hope Sony will get back on track quickly.

Looks like Mr. Kenichiro Hibi is dreaming with this price tag…a price tag of 35k-38k would have been more appropriate though, its a phone afterall not a 40″ television.

I saw a lot of people said it should be lower than 50000 before this is posted but and now people complain? Wth. Other freebie that comes with is pretty decent, consider Canada get nothing in the package beside phone and charger……

Purchased the WHITE one!! :D

RC7

LOL :D

Ethan ‘blaze’ Parker

Meh, its you again. Troll elsewhere.

kannan

no only smartband and cover

The noise cancelling headset will be in the package because it’s the main accessory of the phone and Sony does not reveal the price of headset so for now you can’t buy it separately.Means it will be Z2’s default headset.

thanks man :)

I asked to keep the SmartBand but they refused :(

It is not bundled as per Sony press release. It will be sold separately.

Hemanth Tummala

Will the noise cancelling headphones be included in the box?

RC7

Oh..now me LOL’ing makes me a troll…that’s just hypocritical BS…anyways Congrats on your over the budget Phone which will grow up to become a Television some day. :D

kannan

its been clearly stated on their press release(at the bottom) that NC earphones will not be included and should be purchased separately

They don’t think about consumers at all nowadays, all they care about is being competitive. Sony Z1 still costs around Rs.42,000 at an authorised sony retailer, though one can pick one up at about 35K online. Sony doesn’t somehow want to affect the sale of Z1 I think, that’s why it has launched Z2 at this price point. And I don’t think it will get a pricedrop anytime soon, as is the case with the S5. Still, they should have bundled the noise cancelling headphones though, could have been better value for money. But overall, Z2 is the best overall package among the current flagships……

do indian version of sony xperia z2 has noise cancellation technique built-in..and will noise cancellation earphones be availabe in india market of sony pones ??

nitin verma

does the phone contain the setting of noise cancellation ? theres no problem of NC earphones if they arent in the package…….I just wanted to know that is this setting available in the phone intself so buying of headphones doesnt go in vain

Anas Azeem

Of course it has the Noise Cancellation tech built-in. Posting the screenshot of the phone where it allows to enable the Noise Cancellation option.
